VU Fellowship Programme (VUFP) - Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam

The VU Fellowship Programme (VUFP) offers talented prospective students the unique opportunity to pursue a degree in a selection of Master’s programmes at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.

VU University has committed to providing approximately 1 million euro towards attracting highly motivated, excellent students. All applications received by 1 February will be reviewed by the faculty at which the applicant will be participating in a Master’s programme. Faculties then nominate applicants to the central VUFP scholarship committee, which then awards scholarships to the most talented students. The award is based on the motivation letter, the quality of previous education and the student's academic performance therein. A scholarship offer will then be made to successful candidates.

The VU Fellowship Programme (VUFP) is a scholarship for strongly motivated students with excellent study results. Eligible candidates must be able to prove their academic excellence, must be admitted to a English taught Master’s degree at VU University and do not have the Dutch nationality. Students following a one-year Master’s programme may not apply for the VUFP scholarship for a second year.

The VUFP scholarship is a tuition fee waiver. VUFP scholarship does not provide any additional allowance towards study or living costs.
